More than 40 percent of new managers fail in the workplace within the first year of a new assignment. Why? Newly—hired executives seldom receive coaching to help them navigate new organizational cultures, gain institutional knowledge, and manage a new work force. Roy Brown & Associates provides executives coaching opportunities that help ensure their success through on—boarding and transitional coaching.

The Roy Brown & Associates comprehensive approach to human resources management reflects its philosophy that improvement of the total quality of the operations and services of an organization includes maximum use and efficiency of all its members. Our executive and employee coaching and counseling techniques are designed to help clients give their staff personal professional development experiences in small groups or in one—on—one sessions.

Case Study in Executive & Employee Coaching & Counseling
A small Washington, DC-based research firm hired a new executive vice president to assume the responsibility of managing the company, its current client relations and a staff of researchers, project managers and writers. Aside from a personnel manual delineating the basic policies of the company - essentially legalese, the company offered little assistance for a new executive. But the company is led by an intuitive CEO who knew the new EVP needed help to succeed. Roy Brown & Associates was retained to assist the EVP.

After careful assessment of the company's organizational structure and in-depth interviews with the existing staff, Roy Brown & Associates recommended several steps for the company and its new EVP. One-on-one coaching of the VP included assessing the EVP's management style and that of the staff of the company to discover where management differences may become barriers. Specific goals for the EVP were described in a written plan for success, including strategies for coaching employees. As well, the EVP and Roy Brown & Associates set goals for establishing a performance management program; a realistic organizational structure and the appropriate documentation for position descriptions and salary ranges.
